zilasm is an assembler that targets the Z-Machine. It is the default 
assembler used by zilc.

General syntax
==============

Files processed by zilasm consist of instructions and directives, one 
per line.

Comments begin with ; and continue until end of line. Comments are 
ignored by the assembler.

Instructions
------------

Instruction Number Meaning 
----------- ------ ----------------------------------------------------
PRINTI      178    Prints a string.
QUIT        186    Terminates program execution.

Directives
----------

zilasm uses directives which are instructions to the assembler itself. 
To distinguish them from instructions, directives begin with a period.

Directive  Meaning
--------- -------------------------------------------------------------
.END      Signifies the end of the program and terminates assembly. 
          End-of-file (EOF) is also treated as the end of the program.

.FUNCT    Defines a function, which is a group of instructions. A 
          function name, separated from the directive by space or tab, 
          is also required. The function name may be optionally 
          followed by a comma and include comma-separated argument 
          list. A blank line, the .END directive or end-of-file (EOF) 
          all indicate the end of the function.
